People here can be so whiny and ungrateful sometimes.
If you put yourselves in Cesc's shoes you would have done exactly as he did.
In all the interviews he gave the Spanish press he insisted he was planning to stay at Arsenal. He made it as easy as he could for us to get a large sum of money while securing a move to the club he's always been a fan of, and which is currently managed by his favourite player ever and who he chose his number 4 for - not to mention the best team in the world in his home town.
If we'd been winning trebles no doubt we wouldn't have lost him when we did, but it's nothing short of a mad fantasy considering how much money we actually have compared to the giants we are competing with.
Thanks for the good memories, Cesc, but make no mistake, you never 'paid us back'.
P.S. looking at the picture of flamini above I can't help but think of how 90% of Arsenal-Mania cited Flamini (and later Song and Adebayor) as nothing players that'd never do anything and proved Wenger was mad. Strangely enough I feel more confident about our season now that Cesc is gone. His style was after far from suited to the premiership.
